Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated May 7, 1940 introduced the general titles. On July 13, the corresponding signs of differences were approved. The general form turned out to be similar to the general form of royal generals, the same closed twentieth, pants with lamps, dad and an edged overcoat with "coat of arms" buttons. A parade one-breasted uniform is the same as in the German army. The heap of the general had a round gilded cocardium. In the top of all, the general was laid a white cotton cuitel.

The title of Marshal of the Soviet Union was established on September 22, 1935 by the Decree of CEC and SCA of the USSR. Marshal was dressed in a general form, the differences were red loops, a golden embroidered star, laurel branches and on their crosshair sickle and hammer, sleeve coal with laurel branches of gold embroidered well, and large sleeve stars. Until the fortieth year, there was no laurel branch with a sickle and hammer on the buttercups.

The difference between Marshal Pets, clearly visible on the uniforms of Budenny. M.M. On the left form of the sample of 1936, and K.E. Voroshilova in the uniform of the 1940 sample

The first titles of the Marshal of the Soviet Union were awarded Tukhachevsky, Voroshilov, Egorov, Budynoye and Blucher.

The titles and signs of the distinction of the Red Army on average, senior and highest natch station. Two months after the start of the war, due to the differences between the military form of the elder and the highest natch from the rest of the military form. On August 1, 1941, an order was sent by Telegraph, obliging to cancel the wearing of violating signs for the entire Nachs station, which participated in hostilities, and establish for all types of troops wearing a protective color with protective signs of differences. General to issue gymnasters of protective color and sharovar without lamps.

Which is characteristic, the most difficult period of the beginning of the war, it would seem complete confusion, N by the end of August 1941. Protective buttercups and signs of differences were sent to the fronts.

Personal things, mobilization, vacation and premium documents, black arrow indicated "White ticket"

Uniforms of the working and peasant Red Army (RKKA), which presented a combination of the objects of military uniforms, equipment and difference signs, was sharply different from all the analogues in the prevailed years. It was a kind of material embodiment of the declared Soviet authorities in November 1917. The abolition of the textual division of citizens and civilian (and then military) ranks.

The Bolsheviks believed that in the free army of the new state of the workers and peasants created by them, there can be no external forms that would indicate the power and superiority of some over others. Therefore, after military ranks and titles, the entire system of external signs of differences - stripes, shoulder, orders and medals was abolished and the titles.

In appeals, only names are preserved. Initially, two forms of treatment were initially allowed: a citizen and comrade (citizen commander of the battalion, Comrade of the platoon commander, etc.), but soon the generally accepted form of appeal was "Comrade".

In the formation of the first parts and compounds of the Red Army, the stocks of uniforms were widely used, stored in the warehouses demobilized in 1918. Therefore, the redarmeys and commanders were dressed in the still king of Nikolai II hiking shirts of the 1912 sample, protective color, sharovars of the same color, refilled in boots or windings with shoes, as well as caps.

From the military personnel of the Russian and created during the civil war of the White Army, they differed only by the lack of challenge, bad sign and a red star on the loudshair of the cap.

To develop a new uniform of the Red Army on April 25, 1918, a special commission was established, which already in December of the same year submitted for the approval of the revolutionary military council of the republic (the Revoensive Council - the body carried out the leadership of military construction and the combat activities of the Red Army during the Civil War) Head Upora - the famous "Budenovka", distant signs for the command formulation and distinguishable signs of the main generics of troops they were approved on January 16, 1919. And they became a kind of starting point for a sufficiently long process of creating a uniform, which was used during the Great Patriotic War.

The diameter of the vigorous star Marshal Soviet Union and the army general together with the edging was 54 mm. The twisted star of Marshal Soviet Union and the general general generals had an edging from a red clunk width of 2 mm, a twisting star for the remaining generals - edging by color by the nature of the troops (raspberry, blue or red), 2 mm width. The diameter of the distorted star together with the edging was 44 mm.

The chevron of the army general was one carbon from the golden galun 32 mm wide, and in the upper part - from a red clunk width of 10 mm. The generals of the childbirth of the troops were relied on one square of the Golden Galun with a width of 32 mm, downstairs - Kant by the family of 3 mm width.

The pursuit of marshals and generals the top of a stupid angle is cut in parallel to the lower edge.

The servicemen in the current army and the personnel of the parts prepared to be sent to the front should wear field straps, and the servicemen of the rest of the units and institutions of the Red Army - everyday epaulets.

Field and everyday epaups of generals and the entire personnel of infantry - without emblems, in the rest of the troops - with emblems.

For the marshals of the Soviet Union and the generals, the field of the pursuit was performed from the Galun of a special weaving: for field vehicles - from silk color of khaki, for everyday - from golden wipes.

With the introduction of the pursuit of the functions of the loovers, it was mainly reduced to the designation of the military accessories of the RKKA military personnel, while the placement of the loovers on the nodes and the gymnasters was generally canceled.

On the collar of the uniform of the older and medium-sized teams, longitudinal buttercups were placed from dashboard without edging. The length of the looper in the finished form was 82 mm, width - 27 mm. The color of the loover - by the nature of the troops:

infantry - Raspberry;

artillery - black;

armored troops - black;

aviation - blue;

cavalry - light blue;

engineering troops - black;

intensductant service - raspberry;

medical and veterinary service - dark green;

the Military Legal composition is raspberry.

On the ledges of the senior command formulation, two longitudinal, shied golden dressing, strips, passing by silver thread. On the pastes of the middle command lineup - one strip.
